C

Answer to Question 2

A productivity shock shifts the production function. At the prevailing levels of input use, output rises or falls, accordingly. Output changes further, as input suppliers adjust to changes in the marginal products of labor and capital. Specifically, an increase (decrease) in the marginal product of an input causes an increase (decrease) in factor payment. In response, the quantities of labor and capital supplied increase (decrease).
